“It does make you do an emotional inventory of your career, and your life, and all of a sudden you’re f—king enraged,” Ritter, 36, told Harper’s Bazaarin an interview released Wednesday. “You look back and kind of hate yourself for giggling through it, or for not knowing what to say — I went back and remembered things that I’d totally forgotten about, just shoved under the rug.”

“I remember getting a call about playing the wife of an actor that is close to my dad’s age,” the actress said. “Maybe a little younger, but I also tend to play a little younger than I am, and I read a little younger on camera, so me opposite a 50-year-old? I was like, ‘No! What are you doing?’ I don’t know if it would happen now.”

Ritter actively channels her anger into her work on “Jessica Jones”, in which she plays the titular role of a former superhero turned private investigator who survived sexual abuse.

“I mean, every time a man’s come into a room and shaken everybody else’s hand and then told you that you look pretty? These things make us insane, and what’s satisfying in playing Jessica is that she really does get to explode,” she added.

The second season of the Netflix series tackles the dark underbelly of Hollywood somewhat directly, with Ritter’s character telling an assailant who calls her a bitch that “Time’s up.” There are also flashbacks to Jones’ adopted sister, Trish, being raped as a child star.

“Jessica carries a lot of grief and conflict because she wasn’t able to protect Trish more, and was stuck on the other side of the door while she’s being abused,” Ritter explained. “The idea of other people being abused, and little girls being taken advantage of, just scratches Jessica’s anger in a way that makes her f—king explode. I think that’s something we can all relate to in this moment.”
